"The R7 designation is already taken by a 7500cc ohv prototype." Ted, this one already is outstripped by a R75 prototype, having a twin V-motor. That this...

Boy! I bought my R12 nearly ten years ago for about 1,700 US bucks from Hubert Fahrenbach. It was a freekin' basket case after takin' it apart. I get it...
Paul, Ted, you guys noticed all the same thing: good to start from finding condition, as you then escape from investing money in fake and sloppiness. Second...
Dear Dietmar, You just explained why I rebuild but do not restore my bikes. Vintage bikes should either be used regularly or totally restored and displayed for...
Ted I aint knockin' what you wrote. I see what your gettin' at. But I never understood the whole "totally restored and displayed for all to see". A "totally...

I own an original R71. I live in Oregon and want to know if I am allowed to ride this motorcycle without turn signals or mirrors on the street? I can't seem to...
Yes, you can ride it without turn signals, this is what hand signals are used for. As for a mirror, get a vintage looking mirror and use one, it's a life...
